- 29-inch pie crusts,store-bought or homemade
- 1egg,plus 1 tbsp water, whisked, for brushing
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add onions, carrots, and celery.
-
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften. Stir in chopped turkey and season with salt and pepper.
-
Add flour to the filling and stir until the mixture is smooth. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to cook out the flour taste.
-
Then slowly whisk in the stock to form a light gravy. If the gravy seems too thick, add more stock or water by the ¼ cup.
-
When the gravy is done, add peas and fresh thyme and remove from heat.
-
Divide the pot pie filling between ramekins. Fill ramekins up about ¾ of the way full to prevent overflowing.
-
Cover ramekins with a top piece of pie crust, either store-bought or homemade.
-
Crimp the edges well and poke a few holes in the center of the pie crust to let steam escape. Brush with egg wash.
-
Bake the turkey pot pies at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown around the edges and in the center.
-
Let the pot pies cool for a few minutes before serving.
-
Leftover pot pie will keep well in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat them in a 350-degree F oven until warmed through and piping hot.
